<h2>Why?</h2>
My mother likes Spotify, but it does not work on her old iPod Touch any more. I tried finding a solution to let her record record songs to mp3 and then transfer to her iPod, but none of the solutions I tried worked. But I found Spotify Recorder, and while it did not work it was open source. So I modified it to work with the web player instead, and now my mother is happy again!

<p>
<h2>Is it legal?</h2>
This probably depends on where you live. For example, in Sweden, recoding songs for private use is legal.

<h2>History</h2>
<ul>
	<li>1.0: Initial release (2014-09-06)
	<li>1.1: Updated to work with new ("beta") Spotify Web Player (2016-01-02)
	<li>1.2: Now works with both new and old web player, since both are apparently in use (2016-01-03)
</ul>
